STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD April was an exciting month for members of the Amerian Field Service club at MCHS. AFS sponsors a domestic ex­ change program in which students from other schools in a different state attend McHenry high school to see the dif­ ferences between student activities, sports, classes and school system. Local students also visit another school. This year McHenry's domestic exchange program was with Muscle Shoals high school in Muscle Schoals, Ala. They were welcomed to McHenry by very cold weather. Their week long stay in­ cluded a potluck dinner, viewing the school musical, "Oliver", visits to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Planetarium, a shopping mall, Chicago, and going to the top floor of the Sears tower. The Muscle Shoals students all agreed that the trip into Chicago was quite an exciting experience and they would like to return to McHenry for another visit. The Muscle Shoals students were Ricky Lewis, Jeff Sharpton, Robin Kirshner, David Gray, Kim Brandon, Olivia Queredo, Tracy Sanders, Nancy Ann Campbell, Beth MacNally and SuZanne Atkins. After the visit here they went back to Alabama while the eight students from McHenry prepared to leave the same night by bus for Muscle Shoals. Local students were Lisa Toole, Mary Foley, Rondi Cunat, Betty Zamastil, Julie Brooks, Kris Sodequist, Jill Freund and the exchange student from Sweden, Christer Niklasson. The McHenry students' stay there included a visit to Nasau Spare museum, Helen Keller's home, Wilson dam, a recording studio and taking part in many other activities. The stay there was a memorable one for each. Besides the domestic ex­ change program, AFS sponsors an exchange student. This year Christer Niklasson is enjoying his stay in McHenry. AFS also has a student representing McHenry in South Africa, Tammi Johnson, who will be staying there for a full year. Another AFS member, Linda Janik, is waiting for in- formatikon on where she will be going for a summer exchange program. This year the student AFS has had many activitis.

What Just One Person Can Do Bob Young. Ex-Convict, Judge When Judge Robert Young of the Loomis, Calif., Justice court talks to young toughs, he's not preaching. He's been right where they are. Bob Young was arrested at age 19 for stealing a credit card and served 20 months in a Federal prison. While on parole, he joined a Los Angeles motorcycle gang, the Galloping Gooses. Before long, he was again arrested, this time for attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. The charges were dismissed. And Bob Young began a different life. He left the gang, finished college, and despite the fact that eleven schools rejected him, entered and finished law school. The time had come, he decided, to grow up. Successfully passing his bar examination in 1970 on his first try, Mr. Young underwent a two-year investigation by the California bar to determine if he had the moral character to be a lawyer. In 1972, he was accepted; and in 1974, he joined the public defender's staff in the ~ Loomis Justice court district. When the incumbent Justice court judge retired in late 1976, Robert Young decided to run for office. He won after a hard- fought campaign. "It gives me faith in myself," Judge Young said recently, "but more, it gives me faith in the people. I know it sounds cliched, but I think this is the only country where a person like myself could come up from where I've been and be what I am now." Many of us have set-backs to overcome, whether physical, mental or moral. God offers each of us a choice • a lifetime of regret, remembering past mistakes, or a determination to go ahead, like Robert Young, into a future of service to others.
